LOGAN Reserve artist Linda Woodward has been named a winner in a national “card art” comptetition.
It’s the second time Arcare communities across Australia have held the competition across 45 of its properties, and six winners were chosen to be included in the organisation’s greeting card range for this year.
After 400 votes were logged, Ms Woodward’s entry was the winner of the “gratitude” category.
Her artwork, “The Pavilion in Moonlight” was captured at the exact moment Venus was visible on 11 May 2017.
“My partner Graham built me a pavilion in our garden, and I painted it in Spring, in Autumn colours, in golden mist and finally, in moonlight.” Ms Woodward said.
“My experience while painting ‘The Pavilion in Moonlight’ required patience and perseverance for many months, but it eventually produced more rewards that I could have expected, and from Venus – a more unexpected ‘out of this world’ reward.”
The moonlight and stars represent the patience, perseverance, and support she receives at her Logan Reserve home.
Mr and Ms Woodward moved into the Arcare Logan Reserve community in mid-2021, and the couple are still enjoying their favourite hobbies.
“I am honoured that the judges found merit in my plea for patience and perseverance – whatever the situation.”
